I bought one of the first Hyundais when no one wanted or knew about them 160k miles with only oil changes and recommended maintenance. It ran as good the day I sold it as the day I bought it. I bought several after that (pre-2010) … it breaks my heart to hear how bad they got after that.

Thanks for this important information. I own a 2022 KIA Seltos SX Turbo 1.6 litre. So far it's been great. 🤞

Had a couple of 2015 Kia Rondo's because they were dirt cheep used, great for hauling stuff, great on gas and my 2009 Elantra was bullet proof. I was involved with the recall and all they did was add a knock sensor and reprogrammed the engine check light to blink when the inevitable failure was coming and to stop the car and get it towed! So no fix at all. The inevitable came. One week just to get the fix approved by head office then one month in the shop because I had to get at the end of the lineup of the blinking engine check lights. They said they did not have any loaners on hand and neglected to mention that the law suite required them to offer me $40/day for a rental. I took three buses to work for five weeks because I did not know about this. Thanks Kia. Had a Jetta with the infamous diesel emissions scandal. They did buy the car back from me but it took a year and dozens of angry phone calls. Thank's VW. I'm not one to be loyal to any brand but I sure am disloyal to a couple for the rest of my life. Just think about how much money they lose over the next 30 years when my wife and I trade in our two cars every 4 or 5 years. The sales men lose, the dealerships lose, the guy on the line in Korea loses, the share holders lose. That's what a focus on quarterly profits and indifferent customer service buys you. What do they teach CEO's in their vaulted Ivy League business schools? Keep lying to the bitter end and hide behind an army of lawyers until it's no longer cost effective? Sure as hell common sense is not in their curriculum.

I own a Kia Sportage 2020. I bought it new. I have done almost 130,000km. No major issues. One recall to replace a fuse. My advice is change the oil and filter every 5000km. The engine loves clean oil.

Came here just to see if Nissan was the first one mentioned. Was pleasantly confirmed.

In other words don’t buy modern affordable vehicles or silly overpriced ones either.

Didn't know that Maserati and Peugeot and citroen were part of stellantis.

All of the failing brands in the automotive sector (the brands that sell very poorly (excluding RAM)) are owned by Stellantis! It started with FCA and PSA Groupe, now Stellantis. It’s the snowballing of failing brands. They try to cost cut by sharing poor quality engineering and parts, across their range of vehicles already known for average quality/reliability… that’s how they ended up under Stellantis’s ownership in the first place. The same applies to the Nissan, Renault, Mitsubishi alliance… although Mitsubishi is gradually pulling out to regain respect and reliability. The likes of Renault and Nissan are pretty much done and will end up under Stellantis’s control if affordable. It’s literally DEATH ROW for these brands and their heritage.

Just traded in our 17 Tuscon @ 125k km for a 25 RAV4 XLE Premium. It was recalled for the infamous connecting rod bearing issue. They installed a knock sensor software update and extended the warranty for another 100k km. Funny thing is, it ran like a watch but was showing other issues. It's pretty much a disposable car.

When you say "Stay away from European cars after the warranty period". You know what you are talking about.

Yes, I had a 2011 B200 Mercedes and the cvt died at 84k just beyond warranty. Replacement cost 3800$ Canadian . The second cvt lasted 120k and failed. Although the ride and body were in excellent shape I packed it in and got a used Mitsubishi RVR. I’m an now on my second RVR. Best winter vehicle I’ve ever had for Canadian roads. Maintenance is cheaper than Mercedes.

At what mileage should timiing belts be changed?
@the-suv-guy14 күн бұрын
could be anywhere from 40,000 to 100,000 miles or 4+ years. Check your vehicle handbook to see what your manufacturer recommends.
